Hard Drive/SSD Ask a question Report
Hi,

My laptop is an Asus X550LA. All of a sudden, my laptop switch to Aptio utility setup. Window won't load at startup and I can't exit to go to Window.

I checked the Hard drive and it does not get detected. Does that mean that I should buy a new Hard drive for my laptop? Or, is there a better solution?



Please help!

Thank you
Hey,

I have an Asus Notebook X501A and it has just happened to me; I am running Windows 8.1 and I have done nothing at all that may have caused this.

Here's what I did that was successful:
  • Select the Boot menu in the Aptio setup utility, select 'Launch CSM' and change to enable
  • Select the Security menu n the Aptio setup utility, select 'Secure Boot Control' and change to disable
  • Select Save & Exit and press 'yes'
  • Hold down the power button until the unit switches power off completely
  • Switch back on and continually press the F9 button for about ten seconds; this should now allow the unit to boot up into the Windows Recovery menu
  • Select 'Advanced Start Up' and wait until the recovery menu appears
  • Select ' Advanced Options'
  • Select 'System Restore' and select a date prior to when the problem occurred


System Restore worked perfectly for me.

Good luck!
